THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO GOOD BEARD CARE FOR MEN

March 31, 2023

A beard can make you look stylish, rugged, and masculine. However, without proper care and grooming, your beard can become more of a burden than anything else. While many men may think regular hair products are suffice, using specialised beard products yield the best results. In this article, we will discuss the importance of beard care, the difference between regular products and specialised beard products, and how to properly care for your beard.

Beard Care

Beard Cleaning:

The first step in proper beard care is keeping it clean.

Washing your beard with regular shampoo can strip away natural oils, leaving your beard feeling dry and coarse. Instead, use a gentle beard wash to cleanse and remove any dirt and grime form the beard and also the skin beneath. Make sure to use warm water and massage the wash into your beard in circular motions and rinse well.


Beard Moisturising:

The next important step in good beard care is moisturising.

Your beard and more importantly the skin beneath your beard, requires regular moisturising to keep it healthy, luscious and soft. Using a quality beard oil can help you achieve this. Beard oil is a lightweight product that is readily absorbed into the face and beard, it can be used daily to hydrate and protect your beard from damage. Beard balm is a heavier product that can be used to tame and style your beard while also providing the same moisturising and nourishing qualities as a beard oil.


Beard Trimming:

Trimming, shaping and lining up is important in keeping the beard looking sharp.

Unruly flyaways should be trimmed, the neckline and cheeks lined up and the beard brushed to maintain a neat and tidy appearance. We highly recommend a regular visit to the barbershop for this, as there is no better beard care that that provided by our barbers here at Barber Industries Roselands.


Beard Styling:

A quality beard brush made of boar bristle is perfect for detangling and removing knots or tangles.

Barber Industries Roselands offers a range of high quality barbershop-grade grooming products that includes beard combs, brushes and beard balms that are perfect for taming, controlling and shaping the beard into the desired style.
